    Deep wound care: GRAPHIC IMAGES*

    You are quite right. The chicken was attacked by a coyotes and now has exposed muscle—did the vet prescribe any antibiotics? Why are they not answering? Coyotes have significant bacteria in their mouths. I’m a bit confused as to why stitches weren’t used, since leaving the muscle exposed like...

    Is there a 'best' treadle feeder?

    ...I apologize for my ignorance on these types of subjects. I work with plants and animals in clinic- not feeders :( I’ve already purchased *something (above), and it’s on the way (though shipping is a nightmare—customs sometimes just keeps things, ugh). I like that it has fewer moving parts...

    Is there a 'best' treadle feeder?

    Thanks! Yeah I am having a hard time with the tropics. Im also thinking of a gravity nipple feeder- but not sure if the chickens will eat out of it. And it costs a fortune to ship.

    Weed killer

    Okay- maybe I used the word 'forest' incorrectly, my apologies. They have shrubs, etc. Most backyards are not one acre in urban areas, and I look at photos of coop projects and they dont have bushes/trees, etc- working with a space of 1/4 acre and tough to grow 'soil' so there are less insects...

    Is there a 'best' treadle feeder?

    I will add: not made of metal is ideal as it will be on the beach/sea and the salt destroys all.

    Weed killer

    I think it really depends on your location and how much space you have—your chickens have access to a forest, which makes a big difference. A lot of backyard chicken keepers are working with just a lawn, and if you're aiming for a pristine, magazine-perfect lawn, chickens definitely aren't a...

    Is there a 'best' treadle feeder?

    As the title says, I’m looking for the best option—price isn’t an issue. I want something safe (I've heard some can cause injuries), especially since I do plan to train them. My current coop setup and feeder design are a disaster when it comes to feed waste. I’m not exaggerating—I've even tried...

    Weed killer

    Lawn + Chicken = Dirt. Honestly, there is a reason I even keep my garden beds with veggies separate. Hubby calls them 'Little demo-landscapers with zero appreciation or discretion'

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I still have little ones housed in a finch cage/kennel. Inside, I lay down two sheets of packing newsprint, a dumpy cloth, and some shavings. Every couple of days, I clean it out by removing the paper, wood shavings, scattered food (or rather, food that’s been scratched up and flung everywhere...

    Are some broods of chicks just more aggressive than others?

    Not sure if this would help or hurt?🤣

    Are some broods of chicks just more aggressive than others?

    Maybe I just buy a helmet. 🤪

    Are some broods of chicks just more aggressive than others?

    It is not all its cracked up to be: we are entering hurricane season. !!! rain for months and wind that will knock you knickers off!

    Are some broods of chicks just more aggressive than others?

    Definitely a real possibility—but mine peck. I squat down and get what my husband calls “Too much love! They have too much love to give! Watch your eyes!” …and honestly, he has a point. Most of the time, I take their little pecks as a sign of affection—but somewhere around the fourth peck...

    Also apologies for not answering your question fully- life caught up with me and I wasn't paying enough attention :)

    Are some broods of chicks just more aggressive than others?

    That’s fantastic! …Wait—is it good or bad that they have more energy? Yes, my Rhode Island Reds are free-ranging from sun-up to sundown. They’re doing great, though they only tend to explore as far as I guide them. Today was wild—they discovered the baby mud crabs hatching near the beach. Total...

    Topic of the Week - Feeding mealworms, bugs etc.

    My guys are totally obsessed with Caribbean sugar ants—those insanely tiny swarmers that can strip the insides of a dead bird in under an hour. Full-on National Geographic stuff. They go crazy over the the little moving dots. I just don't want the chickens to get swarmed (they will even swarm...

    Mass found in nesting box?

    Okay, just spitballing—but give it a few decades, and this might top the list of “most likely to be alien.” I mean, seriously. It looks like a set of mini lungs (filled with beans) with Mardi Gras flair? A mushroom crash-landed on a feather with beans and decided to thrive an encapsulate...
